Every other way to price a sunroom starts with a phone call and ends with a number you can't check. This one starts with your own roof on a map and gives you a costed design in about five minutes — free, unlimited, and nobody will call you. When you're ready to get serious there are exactly two prices, and both are on this page.
You do not have to know which of these you want. Start at the top — it's free, it takes five minutes, and it will tell you whether the rest of this page is even worth reading.
You're curious. Find your home on a map, put a Solarium on the wall you've been looking at, and watch it appear on your own house — with what it would cost to build and how that compares to an addition. Take away a written plan and a checklist of what to ask your municipality.
Design and re-design as much as you like, and keep one design under your account so it's still there next week. Emailing yourself the written plan is capped at three a day per building — enough to think with, and it starts over every morning.
You're deciding. This is the part that takes weeks, not minutes: wider or taller, more glass or less, where the doors go, what you can actually afford. Change anything, as often as you like, for 365 days — and take a fresh plan away every time you change your mind, with no daily cap.
Save as many named versions as you like and open any of them again — the wide one, the tall one, the one you can afford — so you're choosing between designs instead of trying to remember the last one.
One building, paid once. Not a subscription: it's per project, so a second building is a second project.
You're building. The finished drawings for the solarium you settled on — the full sheet set, the rib analysis, a materials schedule and a takeoff a contractor can bid from. Your own engineer reviews and seals it for permit. Bought once, at the end, when you know exactly what you're building.
Priced from your own build estimate, so it costs what your project warrants and not what our biggest one does.
Neither price is what the building costs, and neither is what your own licensed engineer charges to review the set and seal it — that fee is theirs, and we neither set it nor collect it. Getting it built covers who you are hiring at each step and what to ask them.
On a $100,000 solarium the set costs $1,000. Everything that goes right or wrong afterwards — whether it stands up under a Maritime snow load, whether your engineer can seal it, whether a contractor can bid it without guessing — is settled by that one document. It is the smallest cheque you will write on this project and the one that does the most work.
Charging a share rather than a flat fee is what keeps that true at both ends. A small solarium and a large one need the same sheets, but they are not the same job — the large one carries more load, more glazing, and more consequence if it is wrong. A flat fee would mean the smallest project paying for the biggest.
Worked from the build estimate the funnel gives you, with a floor of $250 CAD — below that the set costs us more to produce than the share collects. Project access is a separate purchase and is not credited against this fee; it buys a year of design work, which is a different thing from the drawings. Sales tax is added at checkout from your billing address.
You do not have to have picked a wall, an address, or a size. Access buys the room to work all that out: it ties itself to your building the first time you take a plan away, and until then it waits. So there's no rush to decide which house it's for — and if you end up picking the wrong one, tell us and we'll move it.
Change the span, the length, the rise, the glazing and the rib style as often as you like, keep as many named versions as you want, and take a fresh plan away every time — for one building, for 365 days.
Sales tax is added at checkout from your billing address.
Card payment opens shortly. The designing is free and unlimited in the meantime — and if you want project access the day it opens, we'll tell you.
What it would look like on your wall, at your address, with your sun. Roughly what it would cost to build, broken down by trade and compared against a conventional addition. Which way the wall faces and what that does for winter gain. Whether the span you have picked sits inside the range we have built and calibrated. What your municipality is likely to ask you for — and that they, not we, decide whether you may build it.
What size your rib actually needs to be. The free tier tells you where your span sits against the range we have built and calibrated — that much is a lookup, and you should have it before you spend anything. What it cannot give you is the member: the rib section for your span, your snow and your wind, the foundation reactions, and the analysis behind them. That is the engineered work, and it is what the plan set is.
We do not provide stamped or sealed plans, and nothing on the free tier is one. We produce an engineer-ready set; a licensed engineer of your choosing reviews it, takes responsibility for it and seals it for permit. That separation is deliberate and it protects you.
